Xiafu study.
Xia Qinglan was practicing calligraphy leisurely, when the butler rushed in, handed over a piece of paper, stuffed it into Xia Qinglan's hand, and said in a low voice, "My lord, I received a letter from Miss Wanyun, saying that it is the first The next step can be implemented.”
"first step?"
Xia Qinglan narrowed her eyes, recalling what the girl said in his ear that day, she nodded thoughtfully, "I know."
He walked into the study, touched the bottom row of the bookshelf, and took out the "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" that was placed at the bottom, flipped through a few pages, found a stack of bank notes mixed in it, and handed it to the butler In his hand, he instructed, "Distribute these banknotes to the maids and slaves in the mansion, and count them as their severance pay, so that they can disperse until the end of the day."
"Break up?" The housekeeper was taken aback, "My lord, these servants and maidservants in the mansion have followed you for several years, and many of them came from the countryside. How can you just say goodbye?!"
"Disbanded means dismissal, which means that the Xia Mansion doesn't need them anymore." Xia Qinglan explained word by word, "Why? Don't you understand what I said?"
"But..." the butler frowned.
"If you are told to do it, you do it!" Xia Qinglan said with a serious expression.
"Yes." The housekeeper looked embarrassed, but he guessed that this might be an expedient measure, so he could only accept it.
He was just about to go out, but Xia Qinglan stopped him, "Wait."
"My lord, is there anything else?" The housekeeper was stunned.
Xia Qinglan raised the note in her hand, and couldn't help asking, "Not only are the eyeliners of the Prince's Mansion staring at the Xia Mansion, but also that person's soldiers and horses are secretly protecting her. How did her letter... get in?" ? Flying pigeons to pass on letters? Absolutely impossible. According to Yu Chimo's personality, he will definitely cut off all channels of contact with the outside world!"
The housekeeper still had a gloomy expression just now, and when he talked about this matter, he became more interested, "Speaking of which, Miss Wanyun is really extraordinary! My lord probably couldn't figure out how this letter was sent—— "
"Tell me about it." Xia Qinglan pursed her lips in thought.
The butler said, "There is a pond in our backyard. The water in the pond is connected to the creek in the back mountain. It is running water. There are some fish in the pond, and some wild fish that sneaked in from the mountains. Adults are used to being thrifty, and cooking in the kitchen is a must. Fishing directly in the fish pond in the backyard. Miss Wan Yun's letter is hidden in the belly of the fish!"
"What a book collection!" Xia Qinglan was surprised. This little girl is a set of things, not to fool people, but really has some skills.
"Of the ten fish caught this morning, nine of them were stuffed with letters. If my subordinate guessed correctly, Miss Wan Yun must have ordered someone to set a net in the creek at the back of the mountain. Any fish that flowed into our mansion would be caught. It's her who has tampered with it!" The housekeeper explained.
Xia Qinglan nodded in satisfaction, "Interesting, interesting. Tomorrow, you send someone to dig in the back mountain, and connect the pond in my backyard with the pond in Prince Gong's mansion into running water. In the future, you will also use this method to exchange letters. Much easier!"
"I'm afraid this matter needs to be discussed with His Highness Prince Gong, and it can only be carried out with his consent." The housekeeper was obviously in awe of Zongzheng Fusu, and when he mentioned the word Prince Gong, he looked cautious.
Xia Qinglan shook her head mysteriously, and raised the corners of her lips and said, "No, I want to give him a surprise!"
